'ro ALL WHoM 17T MAY ooNcERN:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM I-I. NASH, of Reading, in the county of Middlesex, and State of Massachusette, have invented 'certain new and useful improvements in Frames fonWindoiv-Screens; and I do hereby declare that the followingis a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying dra-wings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in a'newly-devised screen-frame, said frame being made with metallic corners, so constructed as toiser've as connecting joints forthe bars of which the frame is made.

' To enable others skilled in the art to make and use myinventon, I will proceed to describe its construction and use. In the drawings- Figure l represents an elevation of my improved frame for a window-screen.

Figure 2 is an elevation of one of the corner pieces.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the same.

I-rst make of metal the cornerpieces A, having two sockets or chambers, B B, g. 3, the axis of these chambers being at right angles to each other. The shape and size of' the corner. pieces may be varied to snit the taste, and, if desirable, the socket-chambers BB may be'square or octagonal instead of cylindrical., .I new make four bars, D D D. D", of any suitable Wood, of any desired length. The ends ot' these bars are carefully fitted to the sockets B B of thescornerpieces.l The corner pieces and bars being prepared, as above described, I put them together inthe form shoivn ing. 1, and the screen frame is complete. Thebars may be fastened into the sockets by cement, screws, or pins.

The advantages .that I cla-im for my frame for a window-screen are that they can be made very cheap, al1 parts being rapidly made by machinery, very light, and at the same ti'me strong.

Having thus described my invention, I will proceed to set forth my claim.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

As a new article of manufacture, a frame for a window-screen, when constructed of' bars DD D D" and the corner pieces A, made substantially as described.

- Y WILLIAM H. NASH'.
